Fighting Cancer with your Fork

摘要

What you don't eat can kill you. Or at least make you more susceptible to developing cancer. Especially if vegetables, grains and fruit are among the foods you don't eat. Everyone knows this by now, just as we know that fat, in excess, is hazardous to your health. Regular media reminders make sure we don't forget. Occasionally it gets confusing (Is pasta good for me—or bad?). Sometimes we're exasperated (What will they scare us with next?!). But for the most part, we now have enough information to make some healthy eating choices. Considering that by the year 2000 some 40 percent of the human population will develop cancer, and that right now one-third of cancers may be linked to poor dietary habits, we also have excellent motivation.
